Howdy,

Whenever I try to send an email thru courier-esmtpd via Outlook Express (& maybe other mail clients) esmtpd denies it with:

Nov 25 10:25:56 [courieresmtpd] error,relay=xx.xx.xx.xx,from=<ji@xxxxx.com>:
517-Domain does not exist: xxxxxx.com. Nov 25 10:25:56 [courieresmtpd] error,relay=xx.xx.xx.xx,from=<ji@xxxxxx.com>:
517 Invalid domain, see <URL:ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1035.txt>

Which is very bizzarro for several reasons:

- That domain it's complaining about is hosted by the same machine courier esmptd is running on - The domain is listed in /etc/hosts - The domain's primary DNS server resides on the same machine as courier esmtpd is running on - The DNS severs listed in /etc/resolv.conf can resolve that domain name no problem - That domain is listed in both esmtpdacceptmailfor and hosteddomains - Other domains hosted by the same machine work fine - Sending email from this account via locally installed squirrelmail works

Where the monkey else does this domain need to exist for courier esmtpd to allow it??????????????? I am requiring remote IMAP users to authenticate w/esmtpd to relay their email, which I don't think matters. Thanks!!! Mark
